What impressed you positively?

I like how they integrate clinical aspects of medicine throughout all of the classes. Everyone in the admissions office is amazing. The overall atmosphere of the school seems helpful and non-competitive. The facilities are great. The anatomy lab is outstanding. The new OMM/simulated patient facilities are nice too. The block schedule. The school's association with Virginia Tech is a huge plus.
